I recently returned from the NJ shore for a needed vacation. To my surprise, the ocean was the coldest there that I can remember, and, I have been going there for most of my life, and I am now 53. The temperature that I recorded using a standard garden variety thermometer was a bone chilling 59 degrees. Man, that is cold for late July!! So cold that a mist hung over the beach until mid noon for the whole week. Oh yes, by the end of the week the temperature was up to a balmy 61 degrees. Try swimming in that for a refreshing dip.
